About This Centre
Hedgehog Rescue South Gloucestershire was started in 1999 by Val Robinson and Yvonne Cox. It is now run by Yvonne from her back garden in Yate with a group of volunteers who help each day with cleaning, weighing and feeding the hedgehogs in her care. We take over 300 hedgehogs in per year and can house up to around 70 at any one time. We are entirely self-funded with no government backing or help. We have been supported by our local council with grants, Waitrose green token appeal, Chipping Sodbury Chamber of Commerce and kind donations from people who have supported us either with a one off donation or a monthly standing order. Yvonne also gives talks to all age groups which brings in much needed funding.
